DIP switch
(redirected from DIP switches)

    Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Wikipedia, Hutchinson 0.06 sec.

(Dual In-line Package switch) A set of tiny toggle switches built into a DIP, which is mounted directly on a circuit board. The tip of a pen or pencil is required to flip the switch on or off.

Remember! Open is "off." Closed is "on."

Switches on the DIP
DIP switches provide an inexpensive way to select options on a hardware device, and many are still in use. However, programmable chips have replaced most DIP switches. Instead of opening the case, pulling the board and figuring out which switch to flip, settings are changed using a software control panel.
